A Step-by-Step Guide: iPhone 6s Plus Battery Replacement

If you own an iPhone 6s Plus and have noticed that your battery is not performing as it once did, it might be time for a battery replacement. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll take you through the process of replacing the battery in your iPhone 6s Plus. You don’t need to be a tech expert to follow these steps, but you will need some basic tools and patience.

Tools You’ll Need

Before you get started, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

• A 0.8 star screwdriver
• Metal prying tool
• Phillips screwdriver
• Plastic prying tool
• Tweezers
• Double-sided adhesive tape
• Replacement battery

Step 1: Removing the Screws

1. Start by using the 0.8 star screwdriver to remove the two screws located at the bottom of your iPhone 6s Plus. These screws hold the device’s screen in place.

Step 2: Opening the Screen

2. With the screws removed, it’s time to open the screen. Use the metal prying tool to gently create a gap between the base of the phone and the glass. Be cautious not to insert it too deeply to avoid damaging internal components. Work at the corner of the device.
3. Once you’ve inserted the prying tool, start cutting through the adhesive that holds the screen in place. Be patient and work your way around the edges.
4. iPhones come with waterproof adhesive tape. The goal is to cut this tape to allow for screen removal.
5. Carefully open the phone, and it should open to the left (or away from your body if centered). Set the screen aside.

Step 3: Removing Brackets and Screws

6. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove all the brackets holding various components in place. Keep track of the screws, as they may vary in size.
7. There should be five screws holding brackets in place.
8. Additionally, remove the two screws securing the battery bracket.

Step 4: Disconnecting the Battery

9. Use a plastic prying tool to disconnect the battery. Carefully insert the tool underneath the battery connector and lift it straight up. The connectors are designed like Lego pieces, making this step relatively straightforward.
10. Disconnect the second and third connectors as well (there are three on this side).
11. With the connectors disconnected, you can now remove the screen and set it aside.

Step 5: Removing the Battery

12. Inspect your battery. If it’s swollen, you’ll definitely need a replacement. Swollen batteries can be dangerous and should be replaced immediately.
13. To remove the battery, you’ll need to deal with double-sided adhesive tape. Using tweezers, carefully pull the tape away from the battery. Take your time to avoid snapping it.
14. Apply consistent pressure when pulling the tape. Pull it horizontally and flat to prevent breaking it.
15. Once the adhesive tape is removed, the battery should come off easily.

Step 6: Preparing the New Battery

16. Prepare your new battery by applying double-sided adhesive tape to it. Cut the tape to the appropriate size.

Step 7: Reconnecting the Battery

17. Reconnect the battery by pushing the cable all the way to the right (as you face the device) and then close it down. Make sure it’s securely connected.

Step 8: Reassembling

18. Reattach the screen by connecting the cables. Align them correctly and gently press to snap them back into place.
19. Put the brackets back in their respective positions and secure them with the screws.
20. Finally, reattach the battery bracket and secure it with the two screws.

Step 9: Final Steps

21. Once everything is securely in place, double-check that all connections are tight and secure.
22. Slide the clips on the top into their slots and press gently on the sides to snap them back into place.

Step 10: Testing

23. Turn on your iPhone and check if it’s working properly. Ensure the battery is charging correctly.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully replaced the battery in your iPhone 6s Plus. If you’re interested in purchasing a replacement battery and the necessary tools, you can find them on Amazon or eBay. Remember to be patient and take your time throughout the process. With a bit of care, you can extend the life of your iPhone and enjoy better battery performance.
